using Equation 39 is 6.378 × 10−4:

Watt Offset
Offset calibration allows outstanding performance over a wide
dynamic range, for example, 1000:1. To do this calibration two
measurements are needed at unity power factor, one at Ib and
the other at the lowest current to be corrected. Either
calibration frequency or line cycle accumulation measurements
can be used to determine the energy offset. Gain calibration
should be performed prior to offset calibration.
Offset calibration is performed by determining the active
energy error rate. Once the active energy error rate has been
determined, the value to write to the APOS register to correct
the offset is calculated.

APOS = −

CLKIN
The AENERGY registers update at a rate of CLKIN/4. The twos
complement APOS register provides a fine adjustment to the
active power calculation. It represents a fixed amount of power
offset to be adjusted every CLKIN/4. The 8 LSBs of the APOS
register are fractional such that one LSB of APOS represents
1/256 of the least significant bit of the internal active energy
register. Therefore, one LSB of the APOS register represents 2−33
of the AENERGY[23:0] active energy register.
The steps involved in determining the active energy error rate
for both line accumulation and reference meter calibration
options are shown in the following sections.

Minimum Current:

IMIN = 40 mA
WIMIN = 9.6 W

CFNUM = 0
CFDEN = 489
CLKIN = 3.579545 MHz
Using Equation 49, APOS is calculated to be −522 for this
example.
